In the early morning of September 8, 2005, after finishing her shift at Wendy's, Teague met up with some friends at a Mac’s Convenience Store in Barrhaven.
On September 18, Teague's body was discovered by an off-duty police officer, dumped near a parking lot leading to the Lime Kiln Trail in Ottawa's Greenbelt.
[3] On June 9, 2006, Kevin Davis, a 24-year-old pizza maker, stripped naked and rushed out onto Fallowfield Road screaming "I killed Jennifer Teague!"
[6][7] In court, Davis revealed that, in the week leading up to Teague's murder, he had been planning on raping and killing a young woman, even going so far as making a "kit" containing a knife, rope and a gag.
There were also many other motivations for the abduction and murder of Teague, such as his general misanthropy, being fired from his job at Home Depot and the death of his pet cat.
Several individuals living in the Barrhaven area told news channels that they did not let their loved ones walk home alone during the night.
[4] In 2015, Teague's father and stepmother Sylvie wrote a book entitled Behind the Darkest Hours: Where Hope Lies about how to cope with similar tragedies.
